5 CIO Executive Recruiting Agile Leaders: Do you have what they are looking for? The world of leadership belongs to the most learning agile. Korn Ferry International, whose research from assessments of nearly 1 million executives demonstrates keys traits that you need as a CIO to be successful. Jim Aggen To succeed in our volatile, complex, ambiguous world, we have no choice but to master our ability to adapt and learn. Learning Agility is a key to unlocking our adaptation proficiency. It is knowing what to do when you don t know what to do.

6 The ability to learn is a defining characteristic of being human; the ability to continue learning is an essential skill of leadership. When leaders lose that ability, they inevitably falter. When any of us lose that ability, we no longer grow. Bennis and Thomas, Geeks and Geezers: How Era, Values and Defining Moments Shape Leaders 2015 Korn Ferry. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6
